NIGP 65530: Cameras, Movie; And Accessories

NIGP 65530 Movie Cameras and Accessories is an Item code covering security and surveillance camera systems, network surveillance equipment, and related components that state and local governments procure for institutional security, emergency response, and facility monitoring. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring fixed and panoramic network surveillance cameras with AI analytics capabilities, networked audio equipment for integrated security systems, specialized camera units for school facilities, and associated hardware such as network video recorders and storage devices. The work spans equipment procurement only — installation, configuration, and programming are typically excluded from scope or handled separately by the purchasing entity.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city police departments, municipal library systems, school districts, and county cooperative purchasing authorities. The City of Pembroke Pines Police Department requested Axis-branded surveillance equipment in an RFQ posted August 20, 2026 with response due September 2, 2026, specifying 36 cameras and speakers with an estimated project cost of $32,000.
